Sure, that would be helpful.

But I'm a little bit puzzled about this DM conversion for MVEBU
platforms. As all MVEBU targets are already using DM and DM_SPI:

arch/arm/Kconfig:

...
config ARCH_MVEBU
         bool "Marvell MVEBU family (Armada XP/375/38x/3700/7K/8K)"
         select OF_CONTROL
         select OF_SEPARATE
         select DM
         select DM_ETH
         select DM_SERIAL
         select DM_SPI
         select DM_SPI_FLASH

So there should be no need to change something here. Or is something
not working correctly on some of the MVEBU platforms?

What really is missing is the conversion of the older Marvell
platforms, like Kirkwood and Orion. Those are quite ancient and
have no DM / OF / DT support at all (AFAIR). So here is the real
work that needs to be done. Or all those boards might get dropped
soon.

Thanks,
Stefan
